Marine Environmental Geologypart of Starting Point-Teaching Entry Level Geoscience:Service Learning:ExamplesCourse taught by Prof. Ed Laine, Bowdoin College (edlaine@bowdoin.edu) and Cathryn Field, Lab Instructor (cfield@bowdoin.edu).
Example compiled by Suzanne Savanick, Science Education Resource Center (ssavanic@carleton.edu). This course is an introduction to the aspects of marine geology and oceanography that affect the environment and marine resources. Service-learning is an essential component of how students learn about the earth. We deliver part of the content of this course by arranging for students to solve a problem with a local community partner.

Freshwater Ecology/Limnologypart of Starting Point-Teaching Entry Level Geoscience:Service Learning:ExamplesCourse taught by Dave Potter, Unity College. Example compiled by Suzanne Savanick, Science Education Resource Center. Students study aquatic organisms in relation to the environmental conditions of lakes and streams. The course develops substantial quantities of data concerning the local watershed. This data is used by community partners in many contexts.
